Gone to See Iceland 2013 Photography Safari with Mike Hagen. Day 6: Skaftafell National Park.

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

How very, very beautiful, +David Mathre ! The Icelandic sheep have got to be among the most privilleged in the world considering the size of their playground! Warm thanks for your support of the #FarmFriday theme and for your submission this week 🙂
This is such a beautiful vista, +David Mathre with that wonderful zig zag stream leading us to those grazing sheep and on to the mountains! A great share for #farmfriday thank you very much!
+Sofie Løve Forsberg I was actually amazed how many sheep were grazing outside of fences along the highway, and in seven days only saw one that was hit by a vehicle. We did have to slow down a couple of times to wait for a group of sheep to cross the road. The real lucky ones are out on the remote islands.
I walked along this creek and was amazed to find rather large trouts rushing back and forth in the small puddles .. Thanks for sharing this beautiful picture +David Mathre
